Six Picks for This Week From The Family Savvy

By Sarah Bowman

From March Madness and the Asics L.A. Marathon to three remarkably stimulating visual painting, photography and fashion shows, this upcoming weekend is a great chance to celebrate the multifaceted perks of being an Angeleno.

That New Year's resolution to shape up may now be a distant memory, but here's an end-of-winter activity to relight your fitness fire. The <a href="http://www.lamarathon.com/event/spectator-guide-2/" target="_hplink">L.A. Marathon</a> takes place this Sunday, March 17, with a route from Dodger Stadium through the city the beach. The Aasics L.A. Marathon has locations all along the 26.2 mile trek to observe and cheer on the athletes and events and pop-up booths to celebrate the rad runners (and the website has a neat break down of how to move from mile to mile so you can track the participants' progress). We think the marathon will be a fantastic experience for young kids and teens alike, and who knows? It just might inspire you.
